FakeTraveler vs GPS Setter
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
FakeTraveler
Sometimes you need to fake the location of your device (for privacy or to test an app). Fake Traveler provides you a map to select the location where you want your phone to be. Long press in the map and tap Apply button. Tapping the gear (⚙) button (formerly the "..." button) will show two settings to mock the location over a period of time. No root needed as it uses a developers option to mock the location in your device. Requirements: In order to work, you need to allow Fake Traveler to mock locations. You have to enable Developer options and select this app in Settings/System/Developer options/Select mock location app option.
